Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket with olive oil spray. If your air fryer does not have a preheat function, run it for 5 minutes at 400°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups shredded cooked chicken, 2 Tbsp taco seasoning, and ½ cup salsa. Stir until evenly mixed.
Lay 1 flour tortilla on a clean work surface.
Spread approximately ¼ of the chicken mixture onto one half of the tortilla.
Top the chicken mixture with ½ cup Mexican shredded cheese.
Fold the tortilla in half and secure it with toothpicks to keep it closed during cooking.
Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, remaining chicken mixture, and remaining cheese.
Place the quesadillas in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Remove the quesadillas from the air fryer and transfer them to a cutting board.
Carefully remove the toothpicks, slice the quesadillas, and serve immediately.
